Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Lotsa unicorns way back then. Hung.

edit: meant "hunh", but I'm leaving it.

Unicorns just have the same horn down there. It’s all one diagonally placed bone all the way through.

IIRC, horns are keratin and antlers are bone. ☝🏼

Interesting. What else can you tell us about Unicorn physiology?

Pretty horny from top to bottom, and all the switches between. 💁🏽‍♀️
